-notes for a discussion of realism in architecture

“nowadays, complained Mr.K., countless people pride themselves on being able to write thick books

all alone, and this meets with the general approval (…) There is no thought then which could be

adopted and no formulation of a thought then which could be quoted. How little they need to do so!

A pen and a bit of paper is all they can present! And without help, only with the pitiful material that

a single man carry in his arms, they erect their huts! The largest buildings they know are the ones

that can be built by a single man!
